-With this move, Ivysaur lashes a vine from its flower, which functions as both an attack and a [[tether recovery]]. Ivysaur will also gain some slight ascension. There are two "forms" for Vine Whip. The first is when Ivysaur is on the ground, Vine Whip being an attack that attacks at a forty-five degree angle in front of and above Ivysaur, with a powerful sweetspot at the end of the whip. The second is when Ivysaur uses it as a recovery, in which Vine Whip gains a deceptively long range, capable of nabbing the edge with a length far beyond the ground-based Vine Whip.

+On the ground, Vine Whip hits at a forty-five degree angle in front of and above Ivysaur, with a powerful sweetspot at the end of the whip. In the air, in addition to granting Ivysaur a little height Vine Whip gains a deceptively long range, capable of nabbing the edge with a length far beyond the ground-based Vine Whip.
 Like Olimar's [[Pikmin Chain]], Vine Whip will cause [[helplessness]] if used in the air. If left hanging on its vine for long enough, Ivysaur will panic & automatically retract to the ledge. Unfortunately, Ivysaur can easily be [[edgehog]]ged while attempting to use the Vine Whip to recover.

-Vine Whip is a Physical Grass-type attack since Generation IV introduced in Generation I from the ''Pokémon'' series. As a move often learned by Grass-type Pokémon at low levels, Vine Whip is a weak attack, which can be replaced by stronger Grass-type moves at later levels.
+Vine Whip is a Grass-type attack introduced in Generation I, which involves hitting the foe with an outstretched vine. It is a very weak move, learned by several Grass-type Pokémon - including the Bulbasaur family - at a low level.

 ==Trivia==
-*A small electric shock will be heard when the sweetspot of the vine hits another character. This is strange because the sweetspot is still considered a [[grass]] attack and not an [[electric]] attack. However, the seemingly misplaced sound effect does somewhat simulate the cracking sound of an actual whip, especially one striking an object.
+*A small electric shock will be heard when the sweetspot of the vine hits another character. However, the sweetspot is still considered a [[grass]] attack and not an [[electric]] attack: this unusual sound was likely chosen to simulate more closely the cracking sound of an actual whip, especially one striking an object.
 *If used from far enough away, grabbing the front end of the Pirate Ship will cause Ivysaur to swing into the hull of the ship, which will deal 10% damage to Ivysaur and [[meteor smash]] it, resulting in a guaranteed [[self-destruct]].
